Prior allegations become more serious as the article quotes an attorney for one of the injured dorm residents, Brent Mitchell:

>>"Mr. Mitchell remains under his doctor's care and is recuperating at home with his family," attorney Vanessa Moss-Wilson said. "While we applaud the athletic department's quick and decisive actions as it relates to two of the athletes involved, there is substantial and credible information that more than 15 football players were involved in this unprovoked act of violence."<<

I guess this is the new off-field fashion statement for Spartan Football:

Good for recruiting? The real meaning of loss of institutional control?

Maybe if they were practicing "overtime" they wouldn't be able to partake in recreational assault and battery.

It'd be fairly easy to visit the +- 100 thugs and check their knuckles and upper bodies for abrasians. Seems like common sense to you and I, but you think the EL police would be on board with that? Not likely I suppose.

Looks like Shannon Shelton is actually doing some investigative reporting. Her reporting of this MSU incident stands in stark contrast to Rosenberg's ridiculous "invstigation" of Michigan practicing too much. Let's hope that Anger and the freep management give this MSU story the full investigative attention it deserves. My hopes are not high, however.

MGoStore, Six-Zero...someone needs to get working on a shirt to commemorate this moment in history. Thousands of fans in blue ski-masks and maize shirts next October 9th. The thought is just beautiful.

Hi,you don't know us,but we're sparty ...after the game and on random weekends,we like to relax by lighting up a couch or two and joining in on some unprovoked beatdowns. That's why when we're out of town we carry the get out of jail free card...we wouldn't be caught without it.

Endeavor to persevere...
Yes I know hi-jinx (high jinks) is not a word,but it looks good.

Since most of you missed last week, I'll also note that Winston, the one involved in last year's incident, was dismissed from the team for being involved. There's quite a few threads from early in the week for some comedy gold if you search hard enough.

If you want to go to prison go to State, clap clap,if you want to go to prison go to State, clap clap, if you want to go to prison because discipline is surely missin, if you want to go to prison go to State, clap clap.

I visited RCMB (very, very briefly), and at least half of the posters there are blaming the victim's attorney, with the other half saying variations of "why, sparty, why." I'll bet they wouldn't be blaming the victim's attorney if it was UM players.

I'm torn. Carson Butler was hardly Mr. Popularity around here, but then there was a vocal minority with our problem last weekend talking about "false accusations". But then there wasn't THAT much support for it, and it's a lot more he said-she said potentially than an event with probably hundreds of witnesses.

has drop the hammer on all of these kids... i understand that it is fair to give people 2nd chances. but this is the second time in 2 years that state football players have stormed a house looking for ONE person and end up hurting the wrong person and others. and to top it off this time they harm some girls in their wake....

This is a really messed up story and is pretty sad, but at the same time I'm happy. This means my stupid sparty "friends" can't just unload crap on me all off season and expect me to not come back with anything. Dantonio may want to actually do something about this.

The best thing about this awful story is how perfectly Sparty it is. Michigan is in it's worst stretch of football in 40+ years, and all MSU can do is lay an egg during a year they were supposed to contend for the Big Ten title, and then follow it up with this nightmare. It just somehow fits their collective persona so well.

I don't think it's the Schadenfreude I'm taking glee in. It's the hypocrisy of everyone covering the teams that had it blow up in their face that I'm enjoying. Which is it's own, Schadenfreude, I guess. But it's less the suffering of State than the exposure of how double standards that aren't based in any fact make one look stupid.

I think miso needs to lose the mitten and play around with a face mask on the front. Also, something to reference the group beat downs otherwise MSU fans might wear them in ignorance. Which I guess might even be better.
